Keeping Up Appearances: The Full Bouquet (Special Edition)


9 DVD's with every episode in the series, including 3 Christmas Specials!


Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced "bouquet") goes to incredible lengths in her quest for perfection. Hers is a spick-and-span house. Her downtrodden husband, Richard, acts as chauffeur in their immaculately kept car. Their permanently absent son has a superior name, Sheridan. Even the empty milk bottles sparkle on the doorstep after their obligatory rinse in the dishwasher. Hyacinth delights in her "candlelit suppers", but her guests live in fear of receiving her invitations. Next-door neighbor Liz is so nervous that she is guaranteed to break or spill something. Her brother Emmet hides every time he sees Hyacinth. And the Buckets' distinguished friend, the Major, and the vicar and his wife all do their best to keep out of her way. In marked contrast to Hyacinth's meticulously ordered life, however, the rest of her family are as common as muck. They live together in a rundown house that looks like a junkyard. Sister Daisy and her husband, Onslow, are out-and-out slobs. Her other sister, Rose, is an aging tart. And her elderly father is a lecherous drunk, given to cycling stark-naked down by the canal, chasing the milkwoman. Whatever Hyacinth does, her family can always be guaranteed to show her up. Can she ever live down the disgrace? 40 episodes plus 3 Christmas specials over 9 discs DVD extras, outtakes, interviews, cast biographies, etc.

Payday - The Game of Making and Spending Money!


Teach your family the joys of making and spending money!


LAUNCHED IN 1975: Pay Day is great for social interaction and a game that parents and children can play on a relatively even level. Simple and quick, a two lap game takes as little as 15 minutes.
SAVINGS: Players start or add to their savings only on Pay Day. Players may withdraw all / part of their savings only on Pay Day (if the player wants to withdraw at another time, they pay a $50 fee)
LOANS: A loan may be taken out or increased at any time in $100 increments. A player must pay 20% interest on his/her outstanding loan balance every time they land on Pay Day
THE OBJECT: Have the most money at the end of the game. Players can make deals on property and earn money. At the end of each month, players are paid a salary and must pay off all outstanding bills.
CONTENTS: Game board, 4 mover tokens, 1 red die, 64 deal and mail cards, savings and loan pad, money, and instructions. Ages 8+, 2 to 4 players.
